Effect of PVC plastisol composition and processing conditions on foam expansion and tear strength
The quality of vinyl floorings depends mainly on the right control of the formation of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) foam structure. Many process parameters influence the cellular structure and final properties of the PVC foam. In this paper the influence of concentration of blowing agent and...

The quality of vinyl floorings depends mainly on the right control of the
formation of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) foam structure. Many process
parameters influence the cellular structure and final properties of the PVC
foam. In this paper the influence of concentration of blowing agent and
calcium carbonate filler as well as temperature and time of the blowing
process on the expansion ratio and tear strength of the PVC foam were
studied. Moreover, regression analysis was performed in order to determine
the significance of studied parameters influence on expansion ratio and tear
strength of PVC foams. It was found that concentration of the blowing agent
in the plastisol mixture had the principal influence on the expansion ratio
of the PVC foam. Tear strength was found to depend more or less equally on
all studied parameters. The study has also shown that the addition of calcium
carbonate filler had insignificantly lowered the expansion ratio but at the
same time it could significantly lower the cost of the final product. This
effect was practically employed to improve the economic efficiency of the PVC
floorings production in JUTEKS plant in Russia. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke
